uring its return to full power as part of its 24th refueling and maintenance outage, Ameren Missouri's Callaway Energy Center in Fulton, Missouri experienced a non-nuclear operating issue related to its generator.
As a result, the Callaway Energy Center is not operating while the company investigates the cause, as well as develops and implements an action plan to safely return the facility to service.
Our team remains dedicated to working safely and taking prudent actions for the long-term benefit of the customers and communities we serve, said Fadi Diya, senior vice president and chief nuclear officer for Ameren Missouri, a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE).
Ameren Missouri's generation resources remain adequate to meet its customers' needs while Callaway is not operating. Ameren does not expect this matter to have a significant impact on the company's financial results.
The ongoing, efficient operation of Callaway and Ameren Missouri's other energy centers are key to Ameren's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 while keeping rates affordable for customers. The net-zero goal is included in Ameren Missouri's recent Integrated Resource Plan, a triennial filing that sets forth Ameren Missouri's preferred plan to transform its electricity generation portfolio over the coming decades.
